Dennis Prager : HAS HE, TOTALLY, LOST IT ??? !!!
... Some people HAVE / Christmas Message
Stand at EASE!!!
Before we begin our usual prayer/meditation time, I want to ask that
y'all who pray include Dennis Prager. I believe, for reasons I will
explain, that he needs to regain his much-advertised "clarity".
Un-COVER!!! (Silent prayer or meditation.)
HOOAHH!!! COVER!!!
Take SEATS!!!
Good morning, Troops!!
It grieves me to report that Dennis Prager, one of my 4 favorite talk
show hosts and commentators (along with Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and
Anne Coulter) may have allowed his "little red choo-choo" to go
chugging around the bend.
On a recent show, he commented that the natural state of man is NOT
yearning for freedom.
As a "disagreer" I was able to get a priority slot and speak with him.
I was EXTREMELY disappointed in his reaction,
I (mis)quoted the text on the Statue of Liberty, which reads: "Give me
your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses, yearning to breathe free..." My error did not
(significantly) alter the intent of the verse, but Mr. Prager was not
impressed.
I attempted to argue that freedom is God-given and satan-opposed and
leftist opposed (the minions of satan) and the yearning for the
natural state must, therefore, be considered to be the natural state,
at which point I lost him, totally, and (when I attempted to answer
his next [totally dismissive] point) I heard nothing but an echo of my
own voice.
He had used the technique that is often used by people who have no
real arguments, that of
"cutting-the-caller-off"-so-that-they-can't-continue-
and-the-"host"-gets-the-last-word.
This technique is, completely, intellectually dishonest and unworthy
of someone with Mr. Prager's stature and reputation.
The fact that he routinely cuts off his "non-priority" callers (who
are not "big-names") and therefore, add nothing to the prestige of his
show, is another matter that demonstrates a surprising lack of
civility and manners, as he is, otherwise, a charming and considerate
host and I have attempted to explain, in e mails, that this glaring
in-civility is a horrible blot on an otherwise excellent show.
Even Mark Levin, who is frequently prone to exclamations such as, "Get
off the phone, you big dope!!!", with total justification, when
talking to a big dope, is VERY polite to his callers and I, usually,
hear him sign off from each one with a, "Thanx for calling, gotta go."
or something similar. It's just good manners.
But, I digress. If I am in error (on the topic of the yearning for
freedom being the natural state of man) I would like for Mr. Prager,
or anyone, to explain why so many people risk their lives to escape
oppressive regimes, witness the Berlin Wall, the "Cuban boat people"
and countless other examples of the quest for freedom.
Why (in the run-up to the "Desert Storm") did Iraquis urge us to
rescue them? Why did the cab driver (an account I heard on-air) ask
his journalist passenger what was taking us so long and tell him that
people were committing suicide, because they couldn't take it any
longer?
I seem to recall reading, or hearing of people in German occupied
areas cheering our bombers, as they dropped bombs on the people who
were cheering. Can't recall the source & would appreciate anyone who
can sending it to me.
While the doubters are at it, I would like them to justify the idea
that not all of the people who have fought and died in revolutions
were REALLY seeking freedom, but would have been happy to replace one
oppressive regime with another one.
Granted, it happens, as in the case of Cuba, but you will have to have
some compelling facts to convince me that they INTENDED it to work out
that way.
I, further, assert that the Old Testament has many citations
indicating that God appreciates things we do out of FREEWILL, which
(unless one believes that it evolved) MUST be a gift of God. Having
such a gift from God, the logical person HAS to conclude that any
impediment to that freewill is an unnatural situation and the natural
response, of one who is impeded, would be to return to the natural
state OF freewill.
So, BRING IT ON, Mr. Prager, or anyone else and I PROMISE that I won't
cut you off and WILL allow your full & complete views so that my
Troops can fully evaluate your response and attain "clarity", minus
any profanity, as I often find that those who lack clarity or the
ability to communicate (some of the same people who will shout you
down or cut you off) have the tendency to employ such "language?".
In the area of profanity, I will state that Mr. Prager is not
included, as I believe I have only heard him resort to an expletive
ONCE and, as I recall, the person to whom he used it was a real jerk.
I would have done it sooner and worse. I do not remember the exact
word(s?) but can assure you that it was mild, compared to some of my
"attention-getters."
If Mr. Prager chooses to "pick up the gauntlet", I will make every
effort to include him in our next class and am perfectly willing to
engage in an on-going debate, in MY forum, where he cannot take unfair
advantage, by using the "disconnect" button.
If you fail to see a response within 30 days (in view of his lack of
response to my previous e mails) I urge my Troops to forward this
class to all of your friends and his sponsors and indicate your
disapproval of, both, his conduct and this seemingly leftist opinion,
which could translate to disapproval of his sponsors and their
products, until he (to your satisfaction) answers.
As always, I invite comment, criticism and correction, c/o
portervillepost.com .
Also, as always, I urge you to work for the election of Constitutional
Conservatives (no matter what party) who will return us to the
original concepts of the Unanimous Declaration and the Constitution:
1) Strict limits on government.
2) Maximum freedom for the individual.
3) A secular government that is based on Judeo-Christian values.
4) A unified society of all ethnic, social and religious groups, who come
together to make a society where all have EQUAL opportunity to live
and prosper.
If your present representatives don't live up to these requirements,
THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!
Additionally, on the subject of clarity, a couple of days ago I heard
excerpts from a video where an interviewer was asking people who
adolph (heil ME) hitler was. I could not believe my ears and I am
ashamed that these twits call themselves Americans!!!
Among other things, forgetting this part of our history demeans,
diminishes and dishonors the sacrifices of those who risked all (and
some GAVE all) so that we could breath free air, walk free streets and
have the right (within legal limits) to make jackasses of ourselves.
They protected our precious freedoms and the VERY LEAST we can do is
to protect the memory of their sacrifices and honor them, in the
remembrance and our dedication to ensure "...that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this
nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth." [Abraham Lincoln, address at Gettysburg
battlefield, dedicating cemetery.]
I don't know if these twits slept (or were stoned) thru World History
(High School) or if the public fool system has stopped teaching about
WWII, as I understand britain has eliminated the holocaust (maybe as
too politically incorrect) or what possible reason (there IS no
excuse) for them not knowing about one of the worst murderers (and
most horrific slaughters) in modern history.
SOMEBODY HELP ME, HERE!!! O.K., granted I'm 64 yrs young and a 22-yr
military guy, but
it seems inconceivable that people would let this be relegated to the
trash heap of history. INTELLIGENT people know that those who
disregard the lessons of the past (like appeasing aggressors) are
doomed to repeat them, as does the left.
Oh, wait! I GET IT!!! It's the LEFT and their useful idiots who are
LIBERAL who want to erase this stuff, so that they have a better
chance of influencing & (eventually) taking over our government,
because WE ARE the last bastion of FREEDOM!!!
THINK ABOUT IT!!! GERMANY, who you might think would WANT to bury this
info, REQUIRES
it to be studied in school. Probably ANY German school kid knows more
about it than the average young adult, here. WHY? Because they stood
by and let it happen and they want to ensure that they NEVER have that
national shame, again.
This is your assignment: You are, now, assistant instructors. I want
y'all to prepare a presentation, in your own words, or excerpt
anything I have provided and have it ready to open a dialog with your
friends & family.
Ask them what they know about hitler & the holocaust & the japanese
sneak attack on Pearl Harbor & the atrocities of the japanese against
the chinese, Koreans & Filipinos. If you want, you can throw in pol
pot, in Cambodia or any other murdering regime. Be prepared with FACTS
& references & challenge them to spread the word. The more info like
this dies, the more PEOPLE die.
Now, on a brighter note, as we are in the "Holiday Season", I want
y'all to adopt Mr. Prager's "Attitude of Gratitude" & keep it all
year, every year. It doesn't mean that your job doesn't stink or that
everything will be sweetness and light. It just means that we have so
much for which to be thankful. We need to, continually, strive to make
things better, for us and our posterity, as did the founding fathers,
with the guidance of THE FATHER.
ANYONE who can't find SOMETHING for which to be grateful is either
dead or just ain't LOOKIN' hard enough. If I die, tonite, I am
grateful for what those who went before me provided through THEIR
SACRIFICES!!!
I hope y'all had a Happy (& THANKFUL) Thanksgiving and that you &
yours will have a Merry
(& GRATEFUL) Christmas and a Happy (& GRATEFUL) New Year!!!
On your FEET!!! UNCOVER!!!
Heavenly Father, again, we leave our burdens with you, secure in the
knowledge that you want the best for us. We ask you to protect and
guide those who protect and guide us and give us the discernment and
strength to do your will. In Jesus' Name I pray. HOOAAAHHH!!!
COVER!!! Section Chiefs take charge. Keep 'em off their dead gluteous
maximi & on their dyin' feet!!! Dis-MISSED!!!
Sgt. Mack, out. Closing station & leaving the air.
